Forex trading is inherently risky. And where there is risk, there is also stress because it is natural for humans to feel uneasy when involved in risky behavior. However, levels of stress probably vary a lot between different traders. It is also likely that different types of trading events exert different level of stress on traders.
Getting rid of stress entirely is probably impossible and could be even harmful in trading. It is useful to experience bad emotions when you make a mistake it helps you to avoid it in the future. The problem with FX trading (and any other financial trading) is that not all stressful events are results of mistakes. A good strategy with a winning rate of 50–60% and an average risk-to-reward ratio of greater than 1:1 will result in 40–50% losing trades.
